This book was refreshingly different. It was trippy, funny, heartbreaking, poignant, and absurd all at once which made for a quick read! A different look at grief.

i very much enjoyed reading this. it was my first melissa broder, and i will definitely be reading more of her books. the book wasn’t as weird as it could be (read reviews saying that it was a weird girl book and i was expecting it to be weirder), but i did enjoy the magical realist and surrealist elements.

The first half seemed like there would be something more exciting than what was given. I didn’t enjoy listening to someone complain for hours about how hard it is for her for her loved ones to be in pain.
